System check

Important Recommendations for test preparation

As certain system settings or user input may lead to data loss and waste of training runs please carefully read and follow our recommendations for a smooth test preparation:

It is in your own responsibility to find yourself a location and equipment that is suitable, to perform below system check before each run. Please note that even a passed system check does not guarantee the long term stability of your internet connection or power supply, full browser functionality, etc. Furthermore, the system check is valid only for this specific station with the current hardware and software configuration. Each trial and each certificate test should be preceded by a newly conducted system check.

Please note that an unstable electrical power supply and/or internet connection may lead to data loss. MOLLYMAWK psychometrics may not be held responsible for lost training opportunities.

Even if your flash player is up to date, check this page to make sure your specific browser on your specific operating system is ready to run our flash content: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html. Everybody, but especially Mac users should definitely look into this matter BEFORE starting any of the training runs, otherwise they might loose a training opportunity. Check what you see below, between "soundcheck" and "start system check". Can you see the soundcheck programme? Or do you see only an empty window? If your browser does not process flash content you will have to fix this problem before even trying to start an aptitude preparation run (the skills tests will work though).

A keyboard, a mouse (preferably with scroll wheel) and headphones are the required input/output devices. An iPad or tablet can be used to surf the website, register, and order test packages. But it is NOT a suitable hardware for test preparation.

Close all other applications (also all other browsers!) and operate MOLLYMAWK psychometrics in a single browser tab!

Set the browser zoom to 100%. For many browsers CTRL + 0 (zero) works fine.

Avoid deviating from the test discipline. Do not use the F-keys, reload, the browser back button or input other than what is necessary to work on the tests; such actions may lead to an unorthodox termination of a training run and the waste of a training opportunity. MOLLYMAWK psychometrics may not be held responsible for lost training opportunities in this case and there will be no reset of a lost training run.

Sound Check

Some of our tests involve sound. Among other parameters the quality of the sound you hear is dependent on the quality of your internet connection. Therefore we offer a sound check below. The same sound check is part of the preparation just before any test that involves sound.

The sound of an aircraft should start immediately or with maximum 2 seconds delay. FIVE seconds after the start of the soundfile a male voice announces the sound check and counts backwards from twenty. The sound file is 30 seconds long. If the buffering takes 2 seconds or longer or if you cannot hear anything at all or if the voice is not clearly audible do not start the test. In this case check headset, sound settings and internet connection, close your browser and perform a restart. If the sound problem persists, unfortunately your system is not suitable for our tests.

Attention: This System Check does not assess the long-term stability nor down load band width or other quality parameters of your internet connection! Furthermore we declare that we do not accept responsibility for a perfect functionality of the training software on your specific system as this depends not only on the variables evaluated in this System Check but also on a variety of software- and hardware parameters that are beyond MOLLYMAWK psychometrics' control.

Sound Check

You may skip the system check and register anyway. Revisit this page and check your system later.Please note: You will not be able to do a training test or take a certificate test, if your system does not meet the minimum system requirements.
